My 7-year-old son is a mouth breather but doesn't have any infections. He didn't used to get colds or coughs often, but now it's happening more frequently. We've tried nasal sprays like physiomer, but he still breathes through his mouth. Should we consider surgery or wait for his adenoids to shrink on their own? Could this mouth breathing affect his physical or mental growth?

View allI'm looking for some advice because I often get a throat infection when I eat curd or buttermilk, even if I leave it out of the fridge for a bit before eating. It makes me feel feverish and causes body pain, and the whole thing can last for about 45 days. The doctor usually gives me medicine or even antibiotics, and sometimes I have to get a shot for weakness, but I still feel weak for a week afterward. So I've been avoiding curd and buttermilk. I also seem to get throat infections with fever frequently throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Do you know what's causing this or what I can do right away when I start feeling like I'm getting a throat infection?

I've been dealing with a really painful and burning throat all day. Hot water and salt didn't help at all. It's so uncomfortable when I swallow, and the pain's more on the left side. Any ideas on what's going on or how to make it stop?

I accidentally swallowed a small sharp chicken bone and now it feels like it's stuck in my throat. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about any potential danger? How can I deal with this problem?
Accidentally swallowing a sharp chicken bone can be concerning as it may cause injury or irritation in the throat. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, pain when swallowing, drooling, or chest pain. In the meantime, you can try eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water to help the bone pass through the digestive tract. If you experience severe pain or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical help.
